[Coco] lbsr and rts

If I'm reading this right, that block of code translates to:

L010A JSR <$1E
 LSR <$9D
 EXG D,Y

What's funny here is that L010D is pointing to the $9D in the LSR 
instruction. If we ignore that, the block at L010D is:

L010D JSR <$1E
 FCB $02 #invalid instruction

And the block at L013A is just as goofy:

L013A JSR <$2A
 NEG <$00
 FCB $72 # invalid instruction
 FCB $02 # invalid instruction

Either way, neither of those two blocks seem to be valid code. This may 
indicate the block at L08F8 isn't decoded correctly.

Can you send me the bin you're looking at it so I can disassemble it and try 
to make heads/tails out of it?
